I’m Lungi Mchunu!

I'm a Sailor, Explorer & Climate Change Activist with experience on research vessels. My interest in polar research stems from trying to tailor the climate change/plastic pollution message to ordinary people like myself & show the polar regions importance to the rest of the world.

My Mom always told me to leave no stone unturned in pursuit of my passions. She encouraged me to dream and challenge myself.

What I love the most about my journey is that I get to take everyone in my community along with me so as I grow, learn and discover...so do they. These are my babies, I get to show them my adventures, the world. When I'm home, I tutor them on weekends.
